County Hall for Leicestershire

Jonstar has been involved with several projects at County Hall for Leicestershire
County Council – from new installations, maintenance work, and upgrades to the
existing systems that had failed.

As part of a major decarbonisation initiative in 2021, our team installed solar PV
systems across the Rutland Building South, Pen Lloyd Higher Roof, and Pen Lloyd
Lower Roof. Together, these installations total 227.25kWp and help reduce carbon
emissions by an estimated 37.04 tonnes of CO₂ every year.

We also carried out a full assessment of the existing PV systems on site. With
several inverters offline and beyond their warranty period, we proposed upgrading
the systems to SolarEdge technology. This upgrade gave a new lease of life,
improving energy output, enhancing fire safety, and extending the system warranty
to 12 years. In total, 86.45kWp of existing systems were successfully upgraded
across three arrays.

Altogether, Jonstar has now been involved in deploying and upgrading 313.7kWp of
solar PV at County Hall, Leicester.

A fantastic project to be part of – and what a great view from this drone shot!
